  Udvidede turen med 2 overnatninger, som kun kan anbefales. Fantastisk land, hvor vi på de 5 dage fik et rigtig godt indtryk af landet, bla Wadi Shab Swim - Wadi Bani Khalid - Ørken med ræs i sandet - Jabal Shams - og sidst men ikke mindst off road kørsel i bjergene. Ydermere var vores guide, Adil Abdullah, fantastisk. Han havde en viden om landet på et meget højt niveau samt et meget forståeligt engelsk sprog, som ikke ses så ofte på disse kanter. Også en fantastisk humor havde han:) Så 6 stjerner ud af 5:):):)

  We did a 3 days tour inkl hiking in Jabal Shams (The Balcony walk), visiting Nizwa, Al Misfah etc. It was simply incredible. Mr Abdullah our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, we had many laughs, took many beautiful photos and videos. 5 stars! 🤩

  I want to sing the praises of Desert Mountain Tours and its director Hilal Al Ghadani. Our four-day tour of Oman was well-planned for two senior ladies and the care was truly personal. My luggage was lost in transit home and Hilal himself went to the Muscat airport to try to trace. I would never have recovered it without him. Our guide Abdullah Alshuhi was interesting, flexible and easy to be with. Everyone in Oman seemed to know and welcome him. So I say, relax, put yourself in the hands of Desert Mountain Tours, and enjoy this wonderful country! E.Jones Washington, DC ,

  We booked a 7 day tour through Desert Flower Tours and received a very fast answer and a great offer from Hilal immediately incorporating all of our wishes. On Monday 7th of November 2022 Abdullah collected us from our hotel and showed us the wonderful and beautiful country including desert,wadis ( including swimming), mountains as well as numerous forts and towns and other historical sights and events such as the cattle market in Nizwa or Turtle watching. All in all the whole tour was very informative and also Abdullah was a fantastic guide teaching us alot about Oman and it’s people as well as answering any questions we had, it was simply a fantastic trip. The car was also most comfortable and Abdullah also looked after our well-being continuously. The hotels which were organized by Desert Flower Tours were very well chosen , we were very happy with the choices made. My friend and I fully recommend to book through this company and send our special thanks once again to Hilal and Abdullah. Oman as well as the people of Oman are wonderful even we only had 10 days in all but the first impression has wettened our appetite to want to go again and explore even more of this magnificent country such as the southern part.

  We just completed a six day seven night tour with Desert Flower and absolutely loved it. The tour company booked excellent hotels with the Hilton Garden Inn in Muscat and Turtle Beach resort being particularly good. Our driver and guide Abdullah was simply excellent and adapted his approach to our particular style (I.e. we preferred to get going earlier in the day to avoid crowds). He was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with the best Karak he could find… For us everything went smoothly and punctually and the SUV was comfortable for our group of four. Don’t be afraid to go out and visit local shawarma joints for dinner for cost effective and delicious dining options, particularly in Nizwa. We can also recommend the Turkish House in Muscat which is snout a ten minute walk from the Hilton. Overall, awesome!

  Nous avons fait un tour qui a été fait sur mesure par Hilal de 2 nuits et 3 jours. Hilal a pris le temps de tout mettre ce que je voulais faire en si peu de temps puisque je n'étais pas longtemps au pays. J'ai réussi à voir tout ce dont je voulais voir. Notre guide est venu nous chercher à notre hôtel et il s'appelait Adil. Nous avons commencé le tour à Mascate avec la mosqué et par la suite, nous nous sommes rendu dans les montagnes. Nous avons visité quelques endroits et avons fini à l'hôtel Anantara 5 étoiles à djebel akhdar. Incroyable hôtel et reposant après une grosse journée. La 2ieme journée, nous sommes allés voir le fort de Nizwa et son marché, le wadi bani khalid (attention, il n'y pas de salle de bain pour se changer alors prévoir à l'avance. Les salles de bains sont fermés du au covid.) Nous avons fini dans le désert à l'hôtel night camp resort. Très belle endroit, chaleureux directement au pied des dunes. Nous avons monté en haut des dunes pour le couché du soleil et le lendemain matin, nous avions droit à une ride de chameaux de 10 minutes. Notre dernière journée a été pour voir la ville de Sur et ses bateaux, le wadi shab ainsi que sinkhole. Je recommende fortement ce tour et faite confiance à la compagnie sans problème. Je n'hésiterai pas à retourner. Merci à toute l'équipe.

  We arranged our trip to Oman through Desert Flower Tours after contacting a few local companies. The tour was leisurely paced and included lovely hotels. We arrived and had 2 nights in the lovely W hotel where we met our guide Abdullah (more on him later) and had a city your around Muscat. We then headed in our 4x4 comfortable land cruiser to the Wahabi Sands for our desert adventure. First though we stopped and did a hike and swim in the Wadi. It was a fantastic experience followed by a late lunch in a lovely Pakistani restaurant. In the desert we visited another Wadi as well as a walk along the dunes in our bare feet. Following our 2 nights in the desert we had 3 nights in the mountains staying at the alila. The hotel was fabulous in all ways although the prices were shockingly expensive. We visited several mountain villages as well as a dramatic drive deep into the gorge. We finally had 2 nights by the beach, in a rather disappointing Bustan Palace. It felt a bit dated and we wished we could have returned to the (cheaper) W. Abdullah was a fantastic guide. He was an excellent driver always with fresh cold water available in the vehicle. He was knowledgeable about all things Omani. We loved talking to him about britishness and football too. He took us to delightful restaurants for our lunch. He really made the holiday special. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend or use Desert Flower Tours.

  In march 2022 we went on a 14 day self drive luxurious adventure trip through the Sultanate of Oman with Desert Flower Tours. This trip was the holiday of our lifetime! Hilal, the owner of Desert Flower Tours, custom made an itinerary for us that ticked all the boxes and exceeded all of our expectations. An unforgettable dune driving experience with private guide, many nights in the desert and on mountain tops under 1000 stars in the roof top tent, outstanding hotels located in stunning scenery, thrilling sports activities like abseiling into the Snake Canyon and climbing the famous Via Ferrata in Jebel Shams, a sunset bicycle ride through windy little roads of an old town, a guided cultural tour through an authentic Omani village, visiting the camel and goat market for sunrise and much more. Our car for this trip, a Nissan Patrol 4x4 with diff-locks was spotless and equipped with everything you could wish for on a real 4x4 adventure. Great roof top tent, compressor fridge, sand ladders, air compressor, camping chairs and table, gas stove, 20l water container, picknick blanket, gas latern, safety phone and much more. Our fridge was filled to the top with delicious food and drinks and even small jars of marmalade and Nutella found their way into our car. Our host Hilal as well as his great team in the office, the very knowledgeable local guides and the hotel owners are very friendly, welcoming and all true professionals. Hilal has been in the luxury tourism industry for more than 20 years. The experience and attention to detail it showed in all aspects of our trip. All in all we can only conclude that the whole trip was simply outstanding. Hilal is one of the best when it comes to highend travel and authentic experiences in Oman, look no further.

  We spent 2 days with Desert Flowers Tour in Oman and they were one of the best experience ever. If you write the agency, they will find a package (or even more than one) that works perfectly for you and you don’t have to think about anything as they will do it for you. Hilal is an extremely professional person. He drove us to Wadi Shab and then to desert, for an amazing sunset, dinner and night. Moreover, DSF thinks about all details and makes you just enjoy the beauty of Oman. Highly recommend

  I’d highly recommend anyone traveling to the Middle East to visit Oman with Desert Flower Tours. Oman was one of the countries we were most excited to visit - the country is very beautiful, diverse, and welcoming. In a few hours drive you can see mountains, beaches, and desert. Desert Flower Tours made our stay in Oman one of our favorite experiences! From the moment they met us at the airport, they treated us as part of their family. It was amazing having local experts in case we needed any help or suggestions while visiting the country. Hilal, the owner, has hosted people from all over the world (including celebrities)! It is clear that he personally really cares for his customers. He was one of the most friendly and welcoming people that we have met during our travels. We spent the majority of our time in Oman exploring the beautiful Wahiba Sands. The Land Cruiser we rented from Desert Flower Tours was perfect for off-roading through the massive sand dunes, and it was so nice that they brought it directly to the airport for us - it was the quickest rental car pickup ever! With so many things to see, it would have been hard to plan where to go and what to do, but thanks to Desert Flower Tours, they planned the perfect itinerary for us with amazing suggestions. Our favorite highlights were sleeping in the Wahiba Sands desert, swimming in Wadi Bani Khalid, and staying at the Kempinski Hotel Muscat. We are so thankful we booked our time with Desert Flower Tours and hope to return sometime soon! We had such an amazing experience in Oman and would love to return for a longer tour with Desert Flower Tours.
